This was a nice campground close to Munising and Pictured Rocks with access to the lake. Our spot was very private, surrounded by trees. It was clean, has a dump station.

In early October, the campground was full but very quiet at night - a pleasant surprise! We sat on the beach for a while to watch the sunset and the stars, and saw a bunch of folks out with flashlights looking for sodalite rocks.

We really enjoyed our one night at Bay Furnace. The new pit toilets were a bonus! The beach front camp sites were amazing.

Clean toilets and camp sites! Ton of mosquitoes if in a heavy tree spots. Campground road is full of huge potholes and is bumpy if you have a small vehicle. Would definitely camp again!

Clean restrooms were very nice. Friendly staff.
Being next to highway was loud in evening.
Very close to town and picture rocks was convenient.
